Review of Frontier(s) (2007) by Graham P — 13 Feb 2009
The La Haine Multiple Implement Massacre. It's very French and also very vicious. It's easy to see how Xavier Gens wound up directing Hitman. His "frantic" style is more suited to action films.
The editing is such a mess it was like watching Quantum of Solace: The Horror Years. The change from heist movie to horror is well done and doesn't come from nowhere. The build up is rather suspenseful but unfortunately I really couldn't care what happened to anybody in this film.
The whole Nazi Cannibal thing is overdone and verges and pastiche at times. For it's genre though, this is a strong and worthy contender. It has the gore, the stupid characters and those frustrating moments where you shout at the screen.
Isn't that half the appeal?
